The year is 1881, and five years have passed since the events of the SOMETHING STRANGE & DEADLY series. Eleanor Fitt and the Spirit-Hunters are comfortable (and perhaps a bit complacent) as professors at the Sheridan Institute, a place for students both strange and necromantic.

Just as Eleanor must attend a glamorous party in A Darkness Strange and Lovely, I am certain all of you ladies and gentleman will one day be faced with an exciting ball of your own—if you have not already attended one, of course!

Music plays a huge part in my writing process. Every scene, every sentence, every word in the Something Strange and Deadly trilogy was written to music, and I even have a Something Strange and Deadly Spotify list with over 230 songs!

There’s nothing quite like a fresh, buttered biscuit to get your mouth watering. All thoughts of corsets and propriety aside, who doesn’t want to stuff his or her faces with a warm, golden biscuit in the morning for breakfast? Or right after school/work? Or perhaps right
before bed?
